An interesting TED presentation from Dambisa Moyo on the fact that more and more developing nations are looking at China as a role model to learn from. One that reflects conversations that have been taking place for a while, she has certainly sharpened the pencil on the fact that the US’s position as a model to the world is waning.

Where the message is interesting is in that it follows the message that Eric Xi has become known for, and sounds good, but one that I am not buying into given (1) this economy has not really been tested. It has not “survived” a true scare, and as such, it’s greatness is far fro proven and (2) looking in APAC region, and even in some areas of Africa, it is clear that China is not the partner that some thought it would be.
